How We Work

Built for Growth

Every company is focused on growth. What separates them is what they do at each stage.

Some companies are stuck, and our first job is to find what’s in the way. Others are growing faster than they’re ready for. Either way, growth comes in thresholds, and each one calls for new strengths in your people, your systems, and your leadership.

Wherever you start, one of our divisions has been there before. They work together, so the expertise you need next is already in place.

We help you grow, and we stay for what’s next.

client stories

More Than 40 Years of Growing With Our Clients

Hear from the leaders we work with across sales, revenue operations, leadership, talent, and culture.

I credit Executive Coaching for my being able to turn around our under-performing business in San Diego. This generated a $125 million positive profit swing in record time and directly contributed to my promotion to Vice President soon after this project was completed. You helped me become the leader I always wanted to be!

Vice President Credit Global Financial Services

Working with CSS is always a pleasure. They bring a training expertise and commitment to excellence that allows us to focus on delivering sales results. Their training modules are second to none and make understanding the sales process simple and effective.

VP/Market Manager Media

Working with LeadG2 has been a game-changer for our marketing efforts. Their expertise and guidance in utilizing HubSpot to its full potential have significantly improved our effectiveness. They took the time to understand our goals, identify key strategies, and provide customized solutions that align with our needs. The knowledge, responsiveness, and willingness to address all questions made the process seamless and enjoyable.

Director of Marketing PEO

The Up Your Culture program may be the single-most important undertaking I’ve been a part of over the last 11 years here. I never thought our culture was poor, but this program helped me realize how much more we could do to improve our culture and create an environment that is rooted in our Core Values; Integrity, Passion, and Innovation.

COO Media

Working with LeadG2 has been an exceptionally rewarding experience for our organization. Their outstanding communication skills and proactive approach have ensured that every aspect of our collaboration runs smoothly and effectively. The willingness to go above and beyond has been a key driver in our growth, resulting in double-digit increases in lead generation revenue. Simply put, we couldn’t do it without them.

Dir. Revenue Marketing & Operations Publishing

CSS has a proven track record of identifying talents and potential of future sales consultants and sales leaders. I appreciate the assessment and rating for selection, and I value the coaching conversations with the CSS Talent Analysts. Each has documented success in media sales and management which allows them to walk in our shoes as we analyze our team members.

VP Media

Through Executive Career Transition, I was coached in negotiating a significant promotion. With R|L's help, I feel that I am now operating as a true leader. I discovered that I am a better leader and perform better when I am a good listener, negotiator, and facilitator. This perspective actually has turned out to be much more important than feeling like I always have to know everything.

SVP Marketing Pharmaceutical
Partnership is an over-used word, but when I think of The Center for Sales Strategy, I will absolutely say they are a great partner, in every sense of the word. They behave like a TEGNA employee. They understand our vision and are deeply committed to what we are trying to do. They are in it with us.
VP Sales Media
“LeadG2 didn't just set up HubSpot — they rebuilt how our whole revenue team operates. Within a quarter, our pipeline was finally predictable.”
VP of Revenue Operations B2B Services

Without Up Your Culture, we would have been in a totally different position, and things would have looked very different for us.

Senior Leadership Media
R|L contributed brilliant, high-level expertise that provided me a firm foundation to quickly change industries after a great 20-year career. Their Career Transition process was contemporary, concise, caring, and comprehensive. Once the right opportunity emerged, Team R|L worked tirelessly to provide critical strategies that helped me to quickly and effectively solidify the parameters of a position that was being created around my skill sets, as well as ideas for how best to negotiate aspects of the overall offer.
Head of Media Relations Insurance
I have had the opportunity to be affiliated, coached, or collaborated with The Center for Sales Strategy for almost 15 years. I have worked with them as a GSM, DOS, VP Sales, and GM. Their systems and coaching have made me a better manager and allowed me to hire great talent on the sales and management side. I find them to be responsive, collaborative, and supportive. I would highly recommend their services.
Managing Director Technology / Software & Tech Services
Partnering with LeadG2 helped us finally get control of our sales pipeline and marketing efforts. Our leadership now has a clearer bird’s-eye view of all the moving pieces, and our reps are more accountable and efficient. The inbound campaigns are adding new momentum to our sales efforts.
President Media

The Up Your Culture program was pretty much perfect and aligned with our needs. All the feedback from our leaders has been wonderful. I wish I had this type of structure when I led a market. I did it on my own and didn’t have a road map. Being given a roadmap but being able to customize it to the needs of each market, like Up Your Culture does, is extremely valuable.

Senior Leadership Media
The most significant growth area for me as a result of Coaching is a total redefinition of accountability. I now see accountability as getting people to work together to achieve a result, each contributing fully. My old belief was that I was the person "accountable" for giving all the "right" answers to others and persuading them to accept my ideas and produce what I wanted.
